he saw evil

I remember, shortly after moving back to New Orleans in 1975, a little kid about 8 years old mugged an old lady, and one of the ladies standing around afterwards said,

"They ought to dissolve that one."

Funny, shocking, but a lot of truth. What can you say about an 8 year old kid already mugging old ladies? It's not like he was a good kid who went bad. He never was a good kid.

But dissolving them isn't an option.

Yes, he saw evil and depravity.

Strange how this

the repugnant name calling shocked him, men to men, women to women and both to each other"

somehow adds its own special seasoning of ugliness to a scene of physical violence you'd think was about as ugly as it could get.
